STA hosted almost 100 seventh grade girls from the 4 LS middle schools to learn about the engineering career pathway this week! According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, women make up only 16% of the workforce in the field. This event aimed to help girls learn about engineering careers from professionals, learn about courses available to them from girls currently enrolled, and collaborate on a design challenge. Girls were invited based on their YouScience aptitude results and interests. It was a great day of mentorship, connection, learning, and fun! We are grateful for Mrs. Mackenzie's organization, our engineering girls who stepped into leadership, and our partners from Henderson Engineering, Benesh, Burns & McDonnel, and Hallmark!
